Latest on that according to the Times is that Kenny is back in the UK, hasn't been sacked or resigned, and the season review continues. I still think that was just someone making shit up on Twitter as usual, the season review meeting was already scheduled. The first reports of the "sacking" were when it was 6am in Boston - how very likely.

I worry about the future of PES. Since PES6 made its next-gen debut, fans have been waiting for a new engine. Is Seabass still in charge?
Yeah true, hadn't heard he was back in the country. I think he'll stay, it would be very hard for FSG to outright sack Kenny Dalglish, you know?

Nah FIFA 12 isn't that good. I mean, I still play it because it's football :lol but other than that, it's not the best.
Yeah, on first watch the dialogue is pretty hard to follow at times. Swearengen's dialogue is amazing though. I could rewatch a Swearengen soliloquy a thousand times over and not get bored. Love Cy Tolliver scenes too - That crazy bastard.
Sad that it ended too soon.
FIFA 12 is incredible online or with mates. As a single player game though, with its virtual pro and career modes and whatnot, it's awful. AI is disgraceful. I could play Real Madrid or Rotherham and the games would feel exactly the same. Momentum factor is a shitstain as well.
And yeah, Swearengen is pretty much the best character ever. So fucking good. I like EB, he's so delightfully creepy
its the best next gen FB game by far
possibly the best football game ever
FIFA 13 if they come through with what they said will be dead set amazing again. Improvements to the impact engine should stop some of the stupid animations
Yeah, I know I'm way overreacting lol
just getting my rage out pre-emptively so I won't have to worry too much during the transfer window
Then he was fast-tracked into training in March (medical team claiming his injury was miraculously healing; what a load of shite)... and promptly injured his ankle again and missed the rest of the season. Now who knows if Wilshere will even be able to recover by the start of next season, or when (if ever) he'll be back to his pre-injury form.
Coming third this season is both a testament to Wenger's vaunted mental strength and to the fact that the league is really shit this year (and that Arsenal's squad is better than most give credit). I'm just worried 3rd will cover all the gaping holes in this squad exposed at Old Trafford and the San Siro, and there's no evidence that Wenger is going to learn from his repeated mistakes and over-reliance on players that are either injury prone (Diaby, RVP... shit, you could make an argument for the whole Arsenal squad) or ones that are irreplaceable and thus overplayed... leading to more injuries (Cesc, Wilshere).

People online ruin it though. Football games will always be more fun playing on offline multiplayer with a mate on the couch. Recently, I've been matched up against a couple of gentlemen who simply keep passing amongst their defenders for the great majority of the match. I simply exit the game. It must be laborious to obsess about results at the cost of playing the game at all.
Very nice, thanks Lilpenis. Are these shirts the real deal? I think Arsenal's look stylish, I liked it. I'm still unsure what to think of United's, it's too simple and that's a good thing in my opinion, gotta see how it'll look on the players. The collar looks bad though.
I'm the minority, probably, but I wouldn't want to see Kenny in charge for another season, well, at least I'd like to see his plans for the transfer window, because that's where I don't trust him the most and that's where Liverpool can't get any wrong again.
That analysis is pretty good, basically all the odds are at Bayern's side. But that won't matter in the end, anything can happen. Though I'm confident.

My friend who supports Liverpool said there are rumours that FSG want Daglish to step down but he doesn't want to.
Just a rumour.
Just a rumour.
In the case of United, I fucking hope not. It's good that it's simple but like you say, the collar's disgraceful. It looks like something that people who work at Wagamamas would wear.
Personally I don't think Kenny should stay, but that's if the replacement is viably better. Martinez no.
Also what do we think of these kits?

Honestly I dont see Kenny ever doing this. If the owners suggest he should leave I think he will resign gracefully.
Dalglish maybe a pratt in press interviews and made a huge balls up with the Suarez affair but would never put himself before the club.
My guess is he will return to his previous role if he gets the boot.
2011 was the new engine finally.
There has been a great deal of hearsay that FSG were heavily advised against Rafa when they brought the club, supposedly it is unlikely they would consider him in the event that a vacancy opens up.#
edit: and as for the rumours swirling about Dalglish's position, I reckon the reason that nothing concrete has been issued yet is due to the new DoF that FSG want. I'd imagine that Henry & Werner are willing to let Dalglish continue, however they are not going to back him until they get a new DoF and the guy confirms he can work with Kenny and that Liverpool should keep him on.
Bingo
Fuck that, I want Max Payne 3!!!!!! It'll take a week to arrive here, probably.
Just step outside and see the game for yourself!
He's awesome in real life and sex in FM. Bought him and Kwadwo Asamoah for United, shit was being tore off the walls
Was thinking about getting Asamoah but I only need 1 DM. So I went for Fellaini instead.
And check out Felipe Anderson. He's boss.
LOL!! I'm really curious to see how they've done the parts in brazil. It's Rockstar so it's probably pretty convincing.
I haven't bought a single game since dez 2011. What have I missed? Seriously, my xbox has been useless for half an year...
I have those two at the base, super Tom at the peak of the three, Nani Tony and Rooney tearing up shit ahead of me.
I'm welling up, Wilbz.
I made him captain for you. Every press conference when they discuss his form, optional comments include 'he's doing it for Salazar'

Something like the USMNT thread, yeah.
Also, there is a Euro's thread, and I'm sure we could make an Olympics and World Cup Qualifying threads as well. And I agree that at that point we may as well just make an "International Football/Calcio/Soccer/etc. Thread |OT| of why are these games so boring?!"
I got a great season out of Valencia. He racked up shitloads of assists and was my best player. Then he was absolute crap for the first half of my second season. I sold him for £20 odd million in January and bought Muniain.
I played 4-5-1 originally. Fellaini as a DM and Carrick and Giggs as my 2 central midfielders. Nani and Valencia were my attacking midfielders and Rooney was up front.
I've changed my formation to 4-1-3-2. Fellaini still at DM. Felipe Anderson, Carrick and Fletcher as my 3 CM's. Muniain as an attacking midfielder playing through the middle. And Rooney and Berba up front.
Giggs and Scholes have now retired so I needed to revamp the midfield. Muniain and Berba are running the show in my save. Berba has 19 goals and 17 assists so far.
I play Welbeck quite regularly too and he's turning into a proper boss poacher.
lol no
lol the complete opposite to the Fair Play award into Europe then
they should lose their Europa spot based on that diving stat
My care factor is hovering around 3.5
I'd imagine the Olympics OT & this one would be sufficient, I doubt there is enough interest for a separate thread like with the Euros.
He's at Arsenal in one of my saves.

PES5&6 are still more fun to play than the new FIFAs, which are way better than the new Pro Evos. Its an indictment of both Konami and EA, particularly Seabass' lot
How long have you played fifa 12?
